A bit like breeding where two cars that aren't supposed to be together have humpage and a bad thing drops out. My first nominees based on 2 minutes of fleabaying are: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-CAMPER-SPLITSCREEN-CONVERSION-BAY-WINDOW-1972-/180890032539?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item2a1de2d99b#ht_556wt_1396 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Beetle-Mid-Engine-Mr2-Mk1-1587cc-16v-Twin-Cam-engine-1969-Tax-exempt-/190676120097?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item2c652eb221#ht_500wt_1413
That first one is wrong on a new scale of wrongness. Forget the baysplit front, which is just wrong, what the french connection united kingdom is that bulge in the back? OK, you fitted a different engine. MAKE IT FIT THE VAN, not the other way around. What I would like to call the person who did that would cause the swear filter to go into meltdown. The second one - what's wrong with that? mid engined 130hp beetle? Sounds like fun. Radiator grills could be more subtle, but I'd roll in that, no problem.
Wow...what can you say....why ? You sure picked some ugly mothers there...even the beetle looks soooo wrong, but everybody has a different sense of taste...apparently or maybe none
The beetle I could live with but the bay split thing is wrong , why people think its looks cool I don't know
Its just wrong. i look at the front and see a split I then move my eyes to the side and I see a bay. My head hurts now. :'(
The only time when taking a bay front off and replacing it with a split front works is when you take a fleetline: and replace the front and the cab doors to make this: Even then, you'll also need to do something about those rear lights:
Tell you what - that blue one would take some spotting (apart from the rear lights). So - do you get what amounts to be a bigger split (given that splits are smaller)?
A Rover 3.5? Must have had a landy kicking around and got bored one day. If I was rich I'd buy it to destroy it >
I think the beetle works as an idea, but it's been poorly executed. As moons said it doesn't quite fit. The spl-ay or the Ba-it, well, can't say much about that at all except "Why, oh why?"
Now i am lying in a dark (very)room ,that split bay thing ?OHMAGAWD it"s come to this ,eh? (in my opinion)
